Hey what's up YouTube?Kris Krohn here and today I want to share with you my favorite
thing about money.
Lately I've been doing a little series on money because there's so many mindset issues
and problems that people have out there when it comes to this money game and its amazing.
It's like it's a trap.
People are waiting for me to something to say, "see Kris I know it, you're defined by
money.
It's all about money for you."
There's those people out there.
You might be one of them watching this.
So check out those video.
So for me, my favorite thing about money is that understanding that money is the universal
barter source of everything, right?
Like in life to get where I want to go, it's not necessarily money that I need.
It might be someone's talent.
It might be someone's skills, it might be someone's ability, it might be someone's efforts.
Bottomline is there's a lot of things that you need.
If you got big dreams,you;re going to need a lot of resources to make those dreams happen.
It's not just they money.
We're actually going to use money to buy things.
And the things you're going you buy are often not even financially related.
Money just happens to be like the common barter source.
And this is kind of the weird thing.
So many people will put a war against money.
Will have an issue and would say, "money is bad, money is rot, money is evil."
I'm like do you understand, money is neutral, it's paper.
Practically grows on trees, right?
And what you really want to live a life that you want is there's this resources.
Maybe you want to take a family trip.
When I take a look at what money means to me, here's what I see.
It's a means of trade where I can acquire other people's skills, resources and abilities,
time, talents, etc to create products of value.
Create systems of value.
For example, I've been able to help over 3,500 people successfully invest in real estate.
We're coming up on doing a billion dollars worth of real estate.
The thing about that for a second, that's 5 years of making my investors make over 70
million dollars.
But for that to happen, yes it's produced money for me, but it's taking a lot to make
it happen.
A lot of employees, a lot of contractors, a lot of skill sets, you know sounds like
Liam Neeson, " I possess a lot of set of skills.
Well, we have these skills that come together and produces amazing things.
And for a lot of people that has enabled them to retire, for a lot people that enabled them
to take their kids on trips in occasions.
It's like what money means to me is I love making it.
I really do.
It's really fun for me and I love producing it because of what I can do with it.
So number 1, I love using it to create value for other people.
Number 2, I like having money because I like taking care of my family . You know I swore
as an 8 year old that I was going to make enough money that I could not just take care
of my own family.
I got 4 kids right?
Me and my wife and y 4 kids?
But also take care of my parents.
And the last 8 years , I've been able to provide a roof over their head, been able to write
them checks every month, send them over vacations, take care of some of the bigger expenses on
their life.
So that might be today, one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done.
But money also what it means to me is it's a means to see the world and travel.
I get so much value out of that.
You know, last year, I took my daughter she's 11 years old.
I took her to Peru and we were going to go hike the Inca trail and may daughter was going
to need 3-4 months of training to make that happen.
I made her save a certain amount if money herself.
She had earned it through entrepreneurship and chores and other things.
She did through face painting and number of different things and she also had to train
5 days a week on the treadmill and outdoors and had to do hikes.
Well, when we have this experience, we're up on the mountain and the last thousand feet.
We were climbing four thousand vertical feet of altitude in a single day.
And the body can only take so much altitude.
And the last thousand feet was hard for me.
It's an amazing, a pressed of feeling that's difficult to describe.
But my daughter had her hard moments, I had my hard moments but my daughter took me by
the hand and we walked that bound together.
It took a lot of money to make that trip happen folks.
But money is never the thing that we really want.
Besides maybe some of it for some sort of security.It's what we can do with money.
So for me, I look at money and see adventure.
I see trips.
I see connection.
I see hands of memories.
I see taking care of people.
I have some charities that donate to that mean the world to me.
Because of what they stand for.
One of them is the Underground rail road.
I got 2 daughters.
And the idea of them being snatched and taken overseas to be sex slaves, 10,20,30 times
a day.
To be rented out for quarter million dollars a year, it's quickly rising as the most profitable
evil trade.
And use of money in the world today.
That exist for some people and it's wrong, it's evil.
So, me collecting money, raising money and giving my money to support that is like, I
have a hard time thinking of causes of life that are more important to that.
You know ultimately, we got to stop focusing on money itself.
We got to really focus on what does it mean?
And I hope for you, you can eliminate that negativity and you can really get super centered
on what do you want money to create for you?
What lifestyle do want it to give you?
How do you want to help people with it?
Those are some of the things that money means to me and I hope this video helps you get
it clear of what it mean to you.
